I think it is only fair that l post up to say how thank full i am to Mark for his patience and decencey

Today l was due to take my car down to him for the clutch to be looked at, it is a long story but l am very pissed of with why my clutch is fucked (not anything to do with Mark may l add)

I was due to meet him at 10:30am to 11am at his unit well after to picking the car up this morning from my friends i hit the road with the misses in tow, as i was still very annoyed with the car i must admit l was pushing the car hard and the clutch let go after 60 miles with still another 70 to go to Marks,

Now Mitsu will only recover to a dealer and as the clutch is a non warranty item it would mean it having to be removed from the dealer at great exspense, so i joined the AA on the road side at great exspense and they came and low loaded it and dropped it to Marks, now he only came in to collect the car from me as i had flown in from Italy in the end he waited until just gone 4pm for the car.

He really did not have to do that, but his customer service is top quality, always answering the phone and goes the extra yard, which i know some other tuners do but Mark really does this consistently,

Cheers Mark and l will see you in a few weeks


Mike

Hi Si you cheeky fucker

Was original clutch 18k on the clock car got serviced at the main dealer and was fine, the next day it had pads fitted at an Evo speacialist in Lincs after that it started playing up revs shooting up before the car caught up etc,

The other half took it in to get it all done and told me after it was happening, i have a suspicion that the main dealer who ever serviced it discovered launch control and had a bit of fun, it was perfectly fine before had, and I DO NOT beleive that the guys that fitted the pads would do it,

I trust Mark 100% with the car so it will only go to him now for everything, and he is fitting a special "valet mood to the ecu"
